The document discusses the concept of "poly-pathy", which recognizes diverse affective or spiritual pathways within orthodox boundaries. It acknowledges a diversity of spiritual expressions and experiences, including devotional paths, diverse religious emphases, and affective dispositions attuned to cosmic sensibilities. It affirms that intimacy with the trinity can be fervent or passionate without being excessive, and some may experience multiple affective pathways as they develop spiritually over time, in addition to differences in personality.

Spirit possession
Presentation on Spirit Possession for University of Missouri class Indigenous Religions Honors with Elijah Obina (information taken from Indigenous Religions: A Companion by Graham Harvey)
FINAL OUTPUT.docx
This document explores the concept of the self through an examination of the body, mind, soul, and personality. It discusses how human beings are conscious of both the external world and their internal selves, including their bodies, activities, and mental lives. This introspection is made possible through the distinction between the mind and brain. The document also references the difference between empirical experiences and spiritual or transcendental perspectives on the self.
ORIENTAL PSYCHOLOGY PPT
This document provides an overview of Oriental psychology, which draws from ancient writings in Buddhism, Zen, Sufism, and Yoga. It discusses key concepts in each tradition, including the four noble truths and eight-fold path in Buddhism, the emphasis on sudden awakening over scripture in Zen, the search for metaphysical truths in Sufism, and the goal of unifying mind, body and spirit through meditation, breathing and thinking in Yoga psychology. The document also contrasts Western and Eastern approaches, noting Eastern traditions view the ideal or perfect as normal, while cultivation of subjective experience is the main concern.
Essence of yoga dr. shriniwas kashalikar

• The perspective of global unity and harmony,
• The thoughts and policies of global welfare,
• Motivation and concern for global welfare,
• Healthy and mutually gratifying and satisfying instincts and
• Sharing of resources on a “just” basis at personal and global levels!

Indian philosophy
Vedas are the earliest available Indian literature on record.
There were nine schools of thought in Indian philosophy.
It is difficult to establish the chronological sequence of development of schools of Indian philosophy.
Sankhya philosophy
The document provides an overview of the Sankhya philosophy, including its history, key concepts, and implications for education. It notes that Sankhya was propounded by Maharshi Kapila and sees the world as composed of two fundamental principles - Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (nature). It describes the three gunas or qualities of Prakriti and states that the goal of Sankhya is the liberation of Purusha from Prakriti through discriminative knowledge. In terms of education, Sankhya views the ultimate aim as attaining the perfection of Purusha and would include physical science, yoga, and individualized learning in the curriculum.

Pneumatological architectonic
The document outlines a philosophical theology based on interobjective indeterminacy and a minimalist view of God as The One. It also describes a 5-part christology grounded in intersubjective intimacy focused on orientation, sanctification, empowerment, healing and salvation. A 5-part pneumatology is presented based on intraobjective identity and a robust view of nature, expressed through eschatology, sophiology, ecclesiology, sacramentology and soteriology. Finally, a 5-part theological anthropology is discussed grounded in intrasubjective integrity and an optimistic yet cautious vision of humanity approached through an axiological epistemology considering historical, cultural, social, economic and political dimensions.
Thatamanil03june2011
This document discusses the nature of faith from an existential perspective. It argues that faith is not based on reason, feelings, or will but is a holistic response of one's entire being to reality's givenness. Faith has the character of living "as if" love will orient, empower, heal, and save us, despite ambiguity in reality. It can be expected that faith will realize its efficacies proleptically and that some will realize them to a remarkable degree through a liberated life. A kenotic surrender of our growth in freedom may paradoxically free us to embrace an intra-objective identity of all reality as one without fear of losing values realized through intersubjective intimacy.
Suffering
The document discusses the meaning and purpose of suffering. It provides a list of meanings the author compiled over 30 years ago that still ring true, including that suffering allows people to recognize their limitations and reach out to God, is a sign of love, can reveal one's strength and resilience, and teaches compassion. While suffering remains mysterious, it can be redemptive and reinforce an eternal perspective by reminding people that their current suffering is temporary compared to the eternal glory that will be revealed. Suffering is not the only path to faith or redemption, but remains a mystery that can only be partly understood.

What is the difference between Religion and Spirituality?
What is the difference between Religion and Spirituality?The Center for Connection, Healing & Change
The document discusses the differences between religion and spirituality. Religion is described as more transactional and institutional, involving adherence to specific rules, doctrines, and moral codes set by governing bodies. It focuses on worship of historical or archetypal figures. Spirituality is described as more internal, focusing on practical application of teachings through personal experience and evolution. It emphasizes inclusivity, self-discovery, and seeing all beings as family. While religion can provide structure and community, spirituality allows for more freedom and diversity in one's faith journey and practice.Superstition dr shriniwas kashalikar

Understanding Religion
This document provides an overview of key concepts in the study of religion, including:
1) Belief systems, community, stories, practices, and aesthetics are some of the main characteristics of religions.
2) Religions are concerned with understanding ultimate reality or the sacred. Theism, atheism, and non-theism describe different views on the existence of God or gods.
3) Religious experiences can be social, sensory, or interior experiences that take place in the mind. Rudolf Otto and Sigmund Freud provided influential theories on the nature of religious experience.
Spirituality
Spirituality is related to the perception of a feeling, sensation, or conviction that there is something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the whole of which we are a part is cosmic or divine in nature. Experience inner peace and freedom with the spiritual blogs.

THE QUEST FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY AND THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT(1).
This document provides an overview and comparison of several major world religions: Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Baha'i Faith, and African traditional religions. It discusses their core beliefs and concepts of salvation. Hinduism believes in reincarnation and achieving moksha through good works. Buddhism teaches following the Eightfold Path to reach nirvana. Islam teaches total submission to Allah. Baha'i Faith believes all religions reveal God progressively. African religions see God as distant and emphasize community acceptance.
Hinduism, sanatana dharma and yoga 4pgs
- Sanatana Dharma, also known as Hinduism, is an over 5,000 year old spiritual tradition that encompasses teachings like yoga, ayurveda, and vedic astrology.
- These disciplines are rooted in the Vedas and ancient rishi lineages, and constitute a comprehensive system dealing with spiritual and worldly matters.
- While the physical practices of yoga can be separated from Hinduism, truly benefiting from the deeper philosophical teachings requires an appreciation and acceptance of the spiritual traditions and principles they are based upon. Embracing the overarching Sanatana Dharma tradition provides the greatest advantage in practicing these disciplines.
Christ and hinduism and buddhism
The author recounts a spiritual experience they had while visiting a Trappist monastery where they felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in a profound way. This challenged the author's previous belief that all religions experienced the same essence of God or spirit. The author eventually came to embrace Nicene Christianity over their previous interest in Eastern religions. They provide a parable comparing the experience of gnats landing on a whale and elephant to illustrate differences in experiencing God through Christianity versus other religions.
GOD IN BUDDHISM
This document discusses the concept of God in Buddhism. It argues that while Buddhism is often described as atheistic or non-theistic, there are concepts in Buddhism that are analogous to ideas of God or divine beings. These include Dharmakaya which represents ultimate truth, concepts of Buddha as pre-existing and for the benefit of all, and the Buddhist trinity of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. The document also notes concepts like karma, buddha nature, and shunyata that represent ultimate reality in a way similar to how God is conceived in monotheistic religions. In summary, while Buddhism may not use the word "God", there are divine-like concepts that fulfill a similar role for

This summary provides an overview of the key points from the document:
1) The document discusses the psychology of emotions from a Buddhist perspective, beginning with examining the place of emotions in Buddhism. While some emotions are seen as unwholesome, Buddhism also recognizes that emotions can have positive, organizing roles.
2) Specific emotions like fear, hatred, sorrow and grief are analyzed, as well as the four sublime states. The psychological, ethical, and aesthetic dimensions of emotions in Buddhism are explored.
3) Emotions involve physiological arousal and the attribution of significance or value to objects/situations. They motivate approach or withdrawal behaviors and are influenced by learning and culture. The Buddhist concept of latent dispositions
Vipassana Meditation: A Unique Contribution to Mental Health
Vipassana meditation is unique in several ways: it is the meditation practiced by the Buddha that led to his enlightenment, it emphasizes observation and empiricism over assumptions or beliefs, and it aims for total purification through the absence of negative mental states and presence of positive ones like love and compassion. Vipassana is a universal path that can benefit all people to some degree by cultivating awareness, wisdom, and ethical behavior in everyday life. While unique, it is not exclusive, as its principles of non-harming, helpfulness and loving-kindness are also found in other spiritual or ethical teachings.
Why contemplative-living-is-for-everyone
This document discusses the nature of contemplative living and its relevance for everyone. It argues that contemplation describes how one orients toward and participates in reality, beyond specific prayer styles or personality types. True contemplation, or eucharistic living, incorporates all prayer forms and spiritualities. It proceeds with an abiding awareness, thanksgiving, relationship with God, sustenance from God, and intimate presence of God. Vocational commitments can both deepen and broaden one's contemplative experiences by developing weaker personality functions. While temperaments do not change rapidly, diversity in temperaments is a gift that should be celebrated.

This document discusses the nature of contemplative or eucharistic living. It argues that contemplation describes how one orients toward and participates in reality, not just prayer styles or personality types. True contemplation incorporates all prayer forms and spiritualities. The key aspects of contemplative living discussed are: 1) abiding awareness, 2) abiding thanksgiving, 3) abiding covenant relationship, 4) abiding sustenance and nurturance, and 5) abiding intimate presence of God. Vocational commitments can both deepen and broaden contemplative experiences by developing weaker personality functions.

Bourgeault rohr et al10jan2012
This document discusses different approaches to spirituality, religion, and epistemology. It argues that:
1) Our realization of values is informal and based on love, common sense, and participatory imagination, not just logic.
2) Religious and spiritual lives are more pragmatic and existential than logically argued.
3) Encountering others' spiritual lives holistically through their desires, beliefs, and communities is more informative than any individual belief or practice.
4) Dualistic thinking provides reductionistic accounts of human experience; storytelling better conveys spiritual depth.
G11 iwrbs 01
Religion can be defined in several ways including:
1) As a system of faith and worship recognizing a higher power. It involves beliefs, rituals, and moral codes.
2) As a world view that shapes how society understands the world.
3) As both a personal and communal phenomenon involving sacred texts, beliefs about the supernatural, and practices that unite and structure members' reality.
Apologetics Anyone?
The document discusses Bahá'í apologetics, which is defined as defending the beliefs and teachings of the Bahá'í Faith through rational discussion. The author outlines their approach to Bahá'í apologetics, noting it aims to have respectful dialogue, defend the Faith using reason, and transmit Bahá'í beliefs faithfully while respecting other perspectives. The author hopes their explanations of their Bahá'í beliefs will help others understand and potentially find truth, and they look forward to engaging in further discussion with readers.

This document discusses the spiritual nature and aims of Indian civilization and religion. It makes three key points:
1) Indian civilization was driven by a strong spiritual aspiration to turn all of life towards spirituality, not just make it the highest aim but one of the governing forces of the culture.
2) Indian religion provided various supports and stages for spiritual development, from dogma and rituals to more advanced spiritual experiences, allowing people to progress at their own level towards spiritual truth and self-realization.
3) The core of Hinduism was a spiritual, not social, discipline aimed at realizing a supreme transcendent consciousness, and pursuing the highest spiritual truth through inner experience was seen as the most essential part of

A look at panentheism from a semiotic vantage point
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning.

Polypathy
- 1. poly-pathy i would draw a distinction between a sentimentality with its excessive self-indulgences and other experiences of spiritual fervor and even passion that fall within healthy norms of "affective attunement" our tradition has room for a rich diversity of spirituality & piety, all consistent with what are often pronounced personality differences (cf myers briggs, jungian typology & enneagram) thus we affirm even spousal mysticism even the eastern teadtions have prominent devotional paths, such as bhakti yoga i call this poly-pathy, which recognizes diverse affective pathways, just as there are diverse practices - poly-praxy, diverse emphases - polydoxy and so on as celebrated in our abrahamic traditions, christianity, buddhism & hinduism so, these different emphases certainly present within boundaries or norms of orthopathy, orthopraxy & orthodoxy, which recognize that not just "anything goes" even while celebrating a rich diversity of expression & healthy plurality of experience w/in prudent norms & recognizable boundaries of reason to wit, i affirm the father as creator (abrahamic), son as contingency (christian), spirit as relation (buddhist) and god as ground (hindu), hence a tetra-tarian rather than mere trinitarian theology of nature thus, intimacy w/the persons of the trinity can indeed be fervent, passionate, erotic even w/o being maudlin, even as others may experience & express a more vaguely focused affective disposition attuned, for example, to cosmic sensibilities some of us may experience more than one affective pathway as we travel past first fervor, limerance & infatuation on thru second naivete via enchantment, dis-enchantment and re-enchantment w/god in particular or even reality in general (or with one's spouse, analogously, e.g. second honeymoon), which is to recognize intra-personal developmental dynamics thru time in addition to interpersonal personality differences
